"Peter and Gabriele"

So?

tallguywithglasseson		2012-01-15 11:55:43 PM

Hey look man. If I'm paying that much for a ticket, you're bringing me my goddamn food and champagne.

That plane's either landing in a Steven King movie or the set of the Colbert Report.

Great, they dropped them off in Tampa. Now they'll never leave.

For the love of God, woman, go make me a fresh batch of hurricanes!

Wait until their sober holy shiat moment of realizing how close they were to Guantanamo Bay sets in.

They'll really behave on the flight after that.

shanrick		2012-01-16 12:20:51 AM

The couple was spending the night at a hotel near the airport.

Someone find out where they're staying. (new window)

Is it me, or is that background eerily similar to three or four of that plane's tailfins, blown up and then made blurry?

I've been cut off from beverage service while sitting in first class on an America West flight back in 2004, so I'm really getting a kick out of these responses.

tallguywithglasseson		2012-01-16 01:22:43 AM

Granted, instead of "food" and "champagne", it would be "scotch" and "more scotch", but still, principle remains.

She's the best thing about flying Delta.

wait wait wait
you diverted a plane, but the reason was enough to lead to an arrest?
so why did you divert the plane then???

derp derp derp

Beaver1224		2012-01-16 03:27:11 AM

See, this is what happens when you let people with money fly.

The real money have their own jets. Or transporter technology.

m3000		2012-01-16 04:44:59 AM

Why would anyone pay money to fly Delta?

I've been cut off once or twice when I got a free upgrade- I'm 25, so not exactly the typical person who sits up there methinks. Conclude what you will.

doglover		2012-01-16 05:51:52 AM

If an airplane cuts me off of beverage service when I'm in First Class, I'd make a bit of a fuss too.

Lligeret		2012-01-16 06:02:07 AM

m3000: Why would anyone pay money to fly Delta?

Because it is better than American, United, and Frontier by a long shot (fark Frontier way to ruin the best airline out there), and Southwest or other discount airlines that do not suck do not fly the places you are going.

So they could be arrested?

Dogsbody		2012-01-16 06:05:59 AM

I flew commercial several times when I was in high school.
It gets better.

Might have had something to do vith zer German accents. Vie have all zeen Die Hard, no? Zie had German accents, yah?

Enemabag Jones		2012-01-16 06:07:43 AM

Peter and Gabriele Strohmaier of Dusseldorf, Germany.

When are those darn foreigners going to learn that when a flight crew gives instructions for you to sit down and shut up, you do that. Because they are from the United States and in positions of relative power.

Social skills are over-hyped. Comply or get farked over.

/Not shocked this is Delta from my experience flying.
//I wonder if the FBI and NTSB ever gets tired of dealing with passive-aggressive flight crews that are tired of their jobs.

flamingboard		2012-01-16 06:12:39 AM

Like German tourists, the stupid are everywhere.

bongobob		2012-01-16 06:26:57 AM

as an airline employee who regularly sees german passengers, i'm really getting a kick out of these replies..

But seriously, if you have never seen Lufthansa board thier flight, it's scarier than any american carriers.

I read the headline as "Delta Force flight". That would have been awesome.

You know who else through a fit over not getting free Champagne?

Seriously? I've always wondered if that happened, but never knew. Did they cut you off because of unruliness or because of cheapness (they being too cheap to offer more)?

They're all crap.

No better and no worse than American tourists. You really wouldn't believe the shiat I've seen our fellow country pull here in Paris.

I was quoting Red Dwarf but your point is also valid so I think we have a draw. However you do live in Paris which is minus Fark points.

Lufthansa suck balls.

Flew Business Class London - Buenos Aires with them and the seats were crap, staff miserable, food terrible. It was actually worse than flying Economy with KLM.

I booked them for "German efficiency" but BA / Iberia were FAR better than Lufthansa.

What is your understanding of the sentence "I threw a brick through the window"?

You know who else liked grammar?

Woos? Keine Champagne mehr. Was für ein Bodenlose Frechheit!

I can just see it. Stroppy frickin' Herms.

Probably somebody who had had enough coffee before typing.
